Detail of a mosaic depicting a tiger attacking an onager, mid-2nd century AD. The Archaeological Museum of El Djem, in the ancient city of Thysdrus, was established on the site of a Roman villa, whose spatial layout it recreates: a central courtyard surrounded by a peristyle—an open-air portico—that provides access to the rooms. On display there are artifacts—sculptures, mosaic panels, ceramics, etc.—from excavations conducted in Thysdrus as well as in the surrounding area.
